Yes, considering that they support hem.

But for decent people, no.

ESPN has a problem. It’s not going away either.

With the NFL season spiraling already because of lackluster numbers....the same lack of appeal with sports news is going to occur. I’ll go and predict that by the end of March Madness in the spring of 2018....the big executives of ESPN go and hold a private discussion, and decide to dump anyone who has a political agenda attached to them. There’s massive repair required at the network, and their profit-ability is damaged.

ESPN is a bunch of cowardly leftists. They can rot away and die. All of them.

ESPN has the same opinion so they will do as little as possible.

This jamele thing will not be fired because it has black privilege - protective pigmentation.
But when a normal person is accused of anything, he’s fired.

Hate crime laws were created to criminalize anything a White says or does, or doesn’t say or doesn’t do, and to set free non-Whites who physically assault Whites.

I’m pretty sure the opinioneering comes from the executive suite. It’s corporate culture from Disney too. I can’t see them admitting in a glorious “come to Jesus” event, that are out of touch with their viewers.

ESPN and the NFL are making deadly mistakes: Ignoring the people who sign the front of the check in favor of those who sign the backs of checks.

They are basically telling "whitey" to go f' themselves for fear of hurting the feelings of the roid' raging players....this will not end well.

ESPN and the NFL can go F' themselves. The only time I might watch anything these scum have to say is college sports. Screw that up, and it's totally turned off here.

I do NOT subscribe now to my satellite dish. Screw them all, the little I watch is streamed and it's free. Inconvenient but free.

Holding them to lower standards simply reinforces the perception that they are inferiors who shouldn’t be held to any civilized standards; they are doing these people no favors. Giving a black student an “A” for a grade of 35 while expecting whites & Asians to reach 90 for that grade will NEVER produce equal outcomes.
